The Paraburdoo Group is principally engaged in manufacture and sale of fresh and dried noodles.

For the year For the year

2015 2014
(unaudited) (unaudited)
HK$ HK$
Loss before and after taxation (2,514,000) (4,851,000)

The Paraburdoo Group recorded unaudited net liabilities of approximately HK$9,526,000 as at 29 February 2016.

Upon Completion, the Paraburdoo Group will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company. The financial results of the Paraburdoo Group will no longer be consolidated into the Group’s financial statements.

APPLICATION OF THE CONSIDERATION

The net proceeds (after deducting other expenses in relation thereto) arising from the Disposal of approximately HK$1.6 million will be used for general working capital of the Group.

FINANCIAL IMPACT ON THE GROUP

Based on, inter alia, the Consideration and the related expenses relating to the Disposal, the Group currently expects to record a gain arising from Disposal of approximately HK$18,000. The amount is subject to review and confirmation by the Company’s auditors.

The aforesaid estimation is for illustrative purpose only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be after Completion.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Company is an investment holding company and the Group is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of fresh and dried noodles; investment in coal trading business; trading of natural resources and commodities; development and promotion of brands, design, manufacture and sale of trendy fashion merchandises and other consumer products; investment in securities; and money lending and secured financing business.

The Directors have been continuously evaluating the current business strategies of the Group with an aim to achieve the best use of its resources and improve its overall performance.

As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2015, the Group did not expect the manufacturing and sale of fresh and dried noodles business segment (“ Packaged Food Segment ”) to achieve any significant growth in the near future and the Packaged Food Segment under Paraburdoo Group has been recording losses in the past two years ended 31 March 2015. As disclosed in the third quarterly report of the Company for the nine months ended 31 December 2015, the Packaged Food Segment recorded a further loss of HK$1.5 million.

The Directors consider the Disposal allows the Group to exit from subsidizing the nonperforming business of the Paraburdoo Group and create a good opportunity for the Group to restructure its strategic business position and focus its resources in pursuing development opportunities of other existing businesses of the Group.

Having considered the above, the Directors consider the terms of the Disposal are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
